Anne Hathaway has been a style icon throughout her decades-long career, especially thanks to playing characters who've undergone memorable on-screen transformations. Who could ever forget when she went from frumpy to fashion it-girl overnight in The Devil Wears Prada, or from angsty teen schoolgirl to elegant princess (and later queen) of Genovia in The Princess Diaries? Even outside of these roles, though, the Oscar-winning actress has had some incredible fashion moments over the years. Hathaway has served countless red carpet looks and has been a longtime favorite of Valentino and Versace, but over the last two years, her style has reached a new level that proves her inner Andy Sachs is alive and well. Working with celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, the Eileen star has been a highlight of all fashion-oriented events this year—she's hosted the 2023 CFDA awards, starred in a delectably luxe Bulgari short film alongside Zendaya, and quickly become the one to watch on every red carpet.
